This is a small Ming dynasty moulded sancai funerary covered box with ribbed sides. On top of the covered box, it has a moulded design of the plum blossom or meiping plant with flowers. It has a low footrim with a mildly recessed base. It also has a square seal mark which reads as "Da Ming Nian Zhao" from left to right instead of the usual right to left.
As a funerary object, abrasion, minor chips(see picture no.5) and minor production flaws can be expected. With the exception of the minor chip, overall it is good condition as shown in the photographs.
The dimension of the sancai covered box: the height is about 5.6cm and the diameter is about 10 cm.
